The Maritime Museum (Chinese: 海事博物館; Portuguese: Museu Marítimo) is a museum in São Lourenço, Macau, China.[1]

History

The construction of the museum was proposed in 1986. The museum was finally opened in 1987. Because of space constraint, new museum building was constructed and opened in 1990.

Architecture

The museum building spans over 800 m2 of area and was built on the site where the first Portuguese explorers landed on Macau in 1553.
